painting: a bright bay horse

Yay, it’s Friday! I have been painting up a storm this week, trying to average my hours over the day into full time hours. This doesn’t mean painting for 8 hours, because I have to do the picking out the models from my photos whom I want to paint, and sketching, and doing shipping, and updating etsy or blog here. It all is business related. Sometimes going out and finding new horse models to paint. –Can you believe it’s January? There’s going to be new colts in two months!

Meanwhile, I never paint with red so I pulled out all my reds…cadmium red, vermillion, imidazolone orange, alizarin crimson, and cadmium purple. I don’t know if red just doesn’t resonate with me, or if I lack the confidence to use it because it’s so bold. So I wanted to pull out all the variations and see what happened.
